To partially unfurl this, may I suggest reading this LA Times article by Michael Hiltzik that suggests the above date is incorrect and in fact lightyears too optimistic (for the machines). Yes we are on the road to doom, but the destination is a little farther away than James Cameron prophesized. So maybe we can just relax and enjoy taking a few more photos (on our phones) of our dog at that gas station in Mexico, because Shepherd pups are the best, at least until Boston Dynamics can prove otherwise.
